Abstract

An immunohistological study of four men whose perianal warts were undergoing spontaneous regression was undertaken, and the results compared with those obtained from non-regressing condylomata from six men. CD4+ and CD8+ cells were noted in the stroma of each wart, but there was no clear difference in the density of the infiltrate between regressing and non-regressing warts. Natural killer cells (CD16+ and CD57+) were only noted in the stroma and epidermis of regressing warts. Possible immunological mechanisms of regression of condylomata acuminata are discussed.
